Larry Camuso/West Coast Classics

Guys:
I am looking to see if any of you have dealt with or heard of a Larry Camuso of West Coast Classics in California, website is larrycamuso.com. He has listings on the net w/ numerous parts for older cars and has a few items I need. Several of you posted about our buddy Frank @ Billions and Trillions in OK being a scam guy and I was wondering if anyone has any info about Larry Camuso of heard of any negative feedback. Any info or help would be great.
Thanks Ron

Back in the mid '90's I purchased a number of nice '66 parts from him, transaction went well a little bit pricey but satisfactory product and service.

Fyi

Larry has been selling Olds parts for decades. 10 years ago I purchased the rear sway bar for a 1969 Delta Royale from him for $100 plus shipping.

This is what I know and have heard about him. He is/was very good @ what he does with parts. Back when parts were plentiful,no problem with the quality. Had a friend buy a quarter panel from him in the past couple of years and it was not good. I think he had a hard time time getting him to take care of it. That's the only problem I know of.

I dealt with Larry twice back in the mid 90's and both times I was pleased with the product and service.

Never bought from him, but have meet him, and is a great guy. He used to own GM Sport Salvage, but sold it, and I don't think he is involved there any more. He gave the Nor Cal Olds Club, a tour of his car collection, a few years ago. All his cars are great, and he was great about showing them and telling the history of each care. Was a fun tour. I would buy from him.

I bought a 69 cutlass off Larry back in the 80's car was as described, this was back when he sold parts out of his house. I found Larry to be very nice guy. I was thinking of contacting him for some parts my self.

15-20 years ago I bought parts from Larry. A bit pricey but they were decent, packed well and communication was good.

Maybe this is legit, but as I said, you gotta wonder...
